It’s always been my ultimate dream, says Solskjaer

Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally bowed to the inevitable yesterday as the Norwegian was officially announced as the club’s permanent manager with the Old Trafford cult hero immediately issuing a warning to his players.

The former United striker signed a three-year contract as Jose Mourinho’s successor after an amazing caretaker spell in which he had led the side to success in 14 of 19 league and cup games.
